Vehicle Tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.
Vehicle Tips

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)
Vehicle Tips

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.
Vehicle Tips

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.
Vehicle Tips

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.
Vehicle Tips

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.
Vehicle Tips

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
Vehicle Tips

Check your owner's manual to find out what fuel octane rating your car's engine needs then buy it.
Vehicle Tips

Keep your tires inflated to the proper levels. Under-inflated tires make it harder for your car to move down the road, which means your engine uses more fuel to maintain speed.
Vehicle Tips

Lighten the load. Heavier vehicles use more fuel, so clean out unnecessary weight in the passenger compartment or trunk before you hit the road.
Vehicle Tips

Use the A/C sparingly. The air conditioner puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used.
Vehicle Tips

Keep your windows closed. Wide-open windows, especially at highway speeds, increase aerodynamic drag and the result is up to a 10% decrease in fuel economy.
Vehicle Tips

Avoid long idling. If you anticipate being stopped for more than one minute, shut off the car. Contrary to popular belief, restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle.
Vehicle Tips

Stay within posted speed limits. The faster you drive, the more fuel you use. For example, driving at 65 miles per hour (mph) rather than 55 mph, increases fuel consumption by 20 percent.
Vehicle Tips

Use cruise control. Using cruise control on highway trips can help you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, reduce your fuel consumption.
Vehicle Tips

Keep your engine tuned. A fouled spark plug or plugged/restricted fuel injector can reduce fuel efficiency as much as 30 percent.
Vehicle Tips

Inspect the engine's belts regularly. Look for cracks or missing sections or segments. Worn belts will affect the engine performance.
Vehicle Tips

Have the fuel filter changed every 10,000 miles to prevent rust, dirt and other impurities from entering the fuel system.
Vehicle Tips

Change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 18,000 miles. This will protect the precision-crafted components of the transmission/transaxle.
Vehicle Tips

Inspect the suspension system regularly. This will extend the life of the vehicle's tires.

Collision Repair Services, near Cincinnati, OH

Burton's does all of our body work for our company vehicles. I was recently in an accident and took my personal car there as well. They went above and beyond! Fixed suspension work that needed to be done prior to my accident and even fixed the door that a previous repair shop failed to fix! Cleaned the inside, and communicated with me throughout the entire process! I won't go anywhere else ever again! I used to work at a service shop and still never received better customer service and better work than at Burton's!

Burton's did a collision repair for me on a car back in 2004. A car I wrecked when I was in college. At that time the work they did to repair that car was impeccable. They even fixed other blemishes in the car previously there to make it look showroom... I recently purchased a similar car like that one I had and needed the old car info so I could get some old parts I still had in storage to work on the new one. Steve over there went above a beyond to dig through who knows how many old files and paperwork and found that old car info for me. Wow. What service and attention. You cant beat that these days. The recent car I bought does need some paint and body work so as soon as I can I will be taking it in to Burton's for the work, I am confident they will be the perfect place for the job.

Beyond excellent service! Extremely friendly and professional customer service. My car looked amazing and bonus, they saved my vinyl decals on my windows and transferred to the new door that was replaced. My car has never looked so good outside and inside was clean as can be, which is crazy how dirty it was when I dropped it off haha. Wonderful experience

This is the second time I have used Burton’s for body repair. Both times the quality and timeliness of the work surpassed my expectations. They are a first class business.

Rick Rohde, 01/27/2020
Did a great job with body repair on our company vehicle. Also, cleaned the car inside and out. Being that this car is used for company business and transporting children, the interior was VERY DIRTY and they took the time and care to thoroughly clean the inside, even though it did not have anything to do with the repairs. They even gave us an air freshener. Very nice touch! Exceptional work. Very please with the shop all around.

Car: 2015 WRX I took my car into Burton's after a deer caused an accident early this winter. I am a single guy and treat my car like my first born son. I was devastated at the amount of damage sustained and honestly thought the car would be totaled. When I got my car back, I was completely impressed with the attention to detail Burton's put in. My car came out looking better than when it had gone in. Burton's team completely detailed it, and really went the extra mile to ensure I was satisfied. They have earned a customer for life. -David

Thank you so much for making my Mazda CX-5 look brand new! Absolutely amazing repair job and Ricky kept me updated all along the way. Would definitely recommend to family and friends

Christina Honnert - Cincinnati
Visiting Madeira for a gathering of friends, I ran into car trouble. I found Burton's website and they were open. Gave them a call and was advised to bring my car in. They fixed it, test drove it, gave me an extremely fair invoice, which I gladly paid, and I was on my way - safe and sound! Wonderful group of professionals. Does not get more perfect than that - Thanks again!

Jacky Todd - Worcester, PA
Amazing customer service and work!! Ricky & his staff went above and beyond on the body repairs to my Honda Pilot. The quote was detailed and far below several others that I received. Ricky was able to get my car in immediately while I was on vacation so I would not need to get a rental for the week. The body work is amazing and my car was returned completely detailed both inside and out. I will always recommend Burton's!!! Thanks again!!!

When I found this place years ago it was so comforting after all the fly by nights and shysters in the business I had been to in my life. I am now 79 years old and if I ever need him I hope he is still there.

Amazing service and really well done work I'll always recommend them.

I needed some repairs done recently to my F350. Burton's did a great job and fixed all of them the same day I brought it in. They even took the time to do a thorough inspection and addressed all of my concerns.

C. S.
...Duane's attention to detail and getting it right before letting a vehicle roll out cascades down through his entire team, from Greg to Andy to...well everyone I met. (And how often do you find a garage where the mechanics seem pleased to be working there?) I'd recommend Burton's to anyone who's looking for a repair facility that's committed to quality and that will stand behind the work they do...not just because their reputation depends on it, but because their sense of pride in what they do demands it...

C. S.
Burton's does quality work. Ricky and the team are respectful, go out of their way to help you, and they are honest and up front. There isn't a better place to take your vehicle in my opinion.

J. B.
Extremely helpful and truly have the customer's best interest at heart. And on top of that, they do great repair work! My family has used them several times and always been glad we did.

S. M.
TOTALLY PLEASED!!! Our 2011 Ford F150 was recently serviced for some body work repairs from a recent accident. Burton's came highly recommended from our Insurance Company. I must say the workmanship was beyond expectation. The quality - impeccable - down to the smallest details. Our truck looks brand new!!! Body shop manager - Ricky - upbeat demeanor and knowledge base made what was a stressful time much more tolerable. Ricky was very thorough, down to earth, and kept us informed every step of the way. Highly recommend!!

P. M.
Burton's delivers honest and excellent customer service. They are always willing to offer a "dumbed down" explanation of what needs to be done. I will always take my car here. Great job Duane!

K. S.
The work was done timely and was impeccable. I would highly recommend this company without hesitation. The customer service was great!
